Playwright Jerry Corbett’s life went to pieces when he lost the love of his life, Claire Hampstead. Despite his meager living and alcohol dependency, Jerry finds new love with an heiress named Joan Prentice. Joan supports Jerry through his addiction against her father’s wishes, but when Claire makes a sudden reappearance, Joan and Jerry are forced into a dilemma that will redefine their relationship, for better or for worse. Sylvia Sidney, Fredric March, and Adrianne Allen star in Dorothy Arzner’s Merrily We Go to Hell, a pre-Code title so racy that many newspapers refused to print advertisements for the film!
